(Jeil Hospital)
(Episode 15)
You're...
What happened?
How did you find out?
I called her.
Why did you do something I didn't tell you to?
He should've called. You're hurt.
What happened? How bad is it?
Don't cause a fuss. It's nothing.
Manager Park.
He tore a ligament.
They're done treating him,
but he needs crutches for a while.
You did well today. You can go.
Okay then. Goodbye, ma'am.
Goodbye.
Manager Park.
Yes, ma'am?
Why are you two...
wearing KG Supermarket uniforms?
Oh, these? These are...
- Mr. Kim... - Manager Park. You can go.
Okay then. Goodbye.
Why are you wearing a supermarket uniform?
What child's play is this? You aren't a child.
Does this look like child's play to you?
I quit smoking...
but I need an outlet.
If I don't roll this, I feel like I'll burn up inside.
This piece of paper...
oddly enough does the trick.
If I smoke this,
I feel a little better.
Now tell me.
Go and get me discharged.
Leave it.
I don't need assistance.
I volunteered. I wanted to work in the field.
Then why a supermarket and not a construction site?
Can I manage at a construction site at my age?
I'd only get in the way.
You don't know what it's like.
What about Manager Park?
Why is he working with you?
I needed help, so what choice did I have?
I called the man I fired.
Why didn't you tell me anything?
Did I have the time to tell you?
You got thrown out defending Dae Young.
Do you think you can throw me out at my age?
Age doesn't matter.
You do what I say.
If you'd met someone strong-willed, you'd have already...
Already what?
Forget it. I don't want to talk to you.
Dad. What happened?
This happens when you...
work in the field and not behind a desk.
Don't cause a fuss. I'm not dying.
You knew he worked at a supermarket?
I wasn't sure about it,
but I found out after work today.
You came by?
You'd throw a fit if you saw me.
So I asked a friend to look around instead.
Why didn't you tell me?
I told her not to.
Why should she tell what goes on...
at home to someone who left?
Why did you follow me inside?
Are you using this as an excuse to stay?
Fine, I'll leave.
Mom.
Why are you being so childish?
I bet you want to bow at my leg right now.
Don't you dare. I haven't forgiven you yet.
What's wrong with you, Dad?
Go inside, Mom.
It's the first Chuseok since my mother died.
I'll take you back just this once.
Watch how you act.
It's the last warning.
The last warning? That's what I should say.
Mom, stop talking back.
You know how stubborn Dad is.
The more you say, the worse he'll get.
He's never given in.
He's stubborn like you just said,
and I'm sick of it.
You're both grown up,
and I did my best as a mom.
I did better than I could.
I give you that, Mom.
I want to live my own life now.
For Cha Jin Ok.
So what'll you do now?
I don't have a plan yet.
I found a job though.
A job? Where?
At a fast food chain.
I shouldn't be laughing.
Why did you laugh?
I thought you'd look really good in a uniform.
Mom, since you're back,
can't you pretend to give in?
We need to spend Chuseok together.
Baek Hyeon U.
I laughed a lot at your letter.
I didn't think you'd write.
I mean that.
The others will feel betrayed.
I'm not sure if I can keep this a secret.
You don't just play the saxophone pretty well.
You write funny letters too.
It wasn't the work of a first-time letter writer.
This is the best I can do,
so don't say I'm killing the mood.
I got goosebumps just reading your letter.
How did you get tickets to Shin Hae Chul's concert?
I'm so grateful. I really wanted to go.
It'll be the first time spending time with just you,
but let's go. Let's go and have fun.
You sweet thing. Bye.
He's really something.
What man these days tells his wife to leave home?
He's trying to get thrown out.
It's all Jin Ok's fault.
She trained him wrong.
How can a 20-year-old...
train a husband who's 12 years older?
Why did you get married so early?
Don't marry So Young off so soon.
Tell her to date all she wants and marry at 30.
I doubt that will happen.
Like mother, like daughter, I fear.
What do you mean?
Didn't So Young say she's dating?
She said she likes someone and will introduce him to me soon.
A few days ago, she was hand-in-hand with a guy in our neighborhood.
So Young? She held hands with a guy in our neighborhood?
Is that that shocking?
They just held hands. They weren't kissing.
Is that such a big deal?
I'm not shocked. She can date if she wants.
It didn't seem like she was just dating.
What does that mean?
She gave the twins 20 dollars each to keep quiet.
Jin Ok's in shock.
Jin Ok. Here's some advice.
Parents these days think they know all about their kids,
but they're wrong.
Parents these days actually know nothing about them.
Says who?
It's just you who doesn't know about your son.
It's a line from my old script.
What was he like?
You are curious then?
Of course she is.
It's her only daughter, and he might be her son-in-law.
Son-in-law? My goodness.
A son-in-law at our age is too much.
Do as Mi Rae say. Don't marry So Young off soon.
Marrying young is never good.
You know that firsthand.
Tell her to date all sorts of men first.
She wants to know about the man So Young was seen with.
I said that...
it must be in her blood to date that kind of man.
What do you mean? What blood?
Il Lan said he looks really old. Like middle-aged old.
Middle-aged?
So what if he's middle-aged?
It doesn't matter if he's one of the men...
So Young won't marry.
You said you'd go grocery shopping...
after your shift, right?
Let's go. I need to get Heo Se...
and see the doctor for the results.
Where is he right now?
He's hiking to rejuvenate himself...
somewhere deep in Mount Cheonwang.
He's hiking to rejuvenate himself? What's that?
It's a political planning thing.
Let's go.
My goodness.
He should've just pitched his tent near a trail.
How deep inside did he go?
It's so hot.
My gosh.
Honey!
Darling.
Do you think you'll get rejuvenated this way?
Did you think whether to choose power or money?
I can't give up either.
The guardian said you'll lose both if you don't give up one.
Quit working on the council and concentrate on the agency.
I can't live without money.
Take some photos.
This is just a show for the constituents.
I can't see the title of the book.
Don't cover your face.
Lower it a bit and pull in your chin.
Yes, now a slight smile, okay.
That's perfect, now I'm going in.
Okay.
"I just love Korea."
Are you ready to order?
An iced Americano with an extra shot.
Here's your order.
An iced Americano with an extra shot and an iced tea.
- Yes. - That's 6 dollars 50 cents.
Here your credit card. Pick up your order when that rings.
- Thank you. - Thanks.
(Urology)
Are my in-depth...
test results out, doctor?
How many months since you slept together?
It hasn't been months. It's been years.
Years?
9 years and 8 months.
- What did you do? - I waited.
I poked myself with toothpicks every single night.
It's not the Joseon era.
Why would you prick your thighs with toothpicks?
Not my thighs.
On my hand, to alleviate my stress and tension.
If you wanted to go with hand acupuncture,
you should've done it on your husband's hand.
You asked me how I managed for nine years...
and I just told you.
How long has it been since you slept with your wife?
12 years.
I knew it.
You can't communicate with a woman. No wonder you get no action.
Hang on. 12 years means you're our senior.
A monk can't shave his head, and you're just that.
In my case, my wife is uninterested.
Seriously?
What do you think you're doing?
Don't you see my hands are shaking?
Why are they shaking?
The in-depth test results.
Tell me if I have cancer or not.
Oh, that?
There's nothing serious.
It's just an inflammation...
with slight prostatism.
Do you mean that I have no problems...
function wise?
You could say that.
Honey.
Honey...
Were you that scared?
Yes.
It's okay.
He said there's nothing wrong with you.
You passed the first hurdle. Stop crying.
- Okay. - Stop.
Okay, so...
what should I do now?
It's psychogenic.
Do you want to see a neuropsychiatrist?
Yes.
I'll do anything. Let's do it.
I'm glad we saw a doctor.
Just one test result changed you completely.
Honey. The summit is near.
It is. Let's try really hard...
and hit an out-of-the-park homer.
- Let's do it! - Let's do it!
Honey. Honey...
Okay, do that.
Adjust it to coincide with...
the PR programs.
I didn't get your text because my phone was in my bag.
Your line was busy,
so I came over.
I thought you wouldn't come in today because you didn't answer.
How could I not come in...
when it's a full rehearsal?
You used to...
not show up back in the day.
You always bring up my past...
just when I think I forgot about it.
I don't have as much guts as I used to.
Your makeup...
looks okay today.
Does it? That's such a relief.
I didn't sleep well last night and was worried.
Mi Rae.
It's a double-cast with you and Hyun Jung.
Yes.
Hyun Jung will play the part on her own.
What?
What about me?
You weren't happy about the part from the beginning.
No, director, don't say that.
I always said that...
when the cast's body and heart are at one,
then they can truly move the audience.
If you don't like the role...
you can't sing properly.
Is this about my poor performance at practice a few days ago?
I really didn't feel well that day.
Mi Rae.
We're all experts.
We can tell when we hear a voice.
The look in your eyes and face. They're too heavy.
You aren't being yourself.
You're deceiving the audience.
You don't deserve to be on my stage.
Director.
You got divorced recently?
Yes.
You need to settle down for your singing to settle.
Do you want one?
Shouldn't you try to drink less?
He said I have no functional problems.
"Psychogenic" means that...
it's all in my mind.
What's at the core of anyone's mind? Stress.
Stress can be alleviated with alcohol.
What nonsense is that?
Exercise is a much more advisable activity.
Let's drink to celebrate jumping the first hurdle.
How can you change during the short trip from the hospital?
Alcohol won't help you hit a homer.
Okay, as of tomorrow I'll...
drink less.
Not quit drinking?
If I'm to communicate with my constituents,
I need to drink.
That's why I'm saying you need to give up wanting power.
Okay.
Starting today, let's build you up for the second hurdle.
I'll have everything set. Come home early.
Okay.
(Baek Ho)
I met your ex-husband.
Why did you meet him?
He came to my shop.
Why? What for?
He barged in and just punched me.
I didn't even notice him come in...
and fought back thinking he was a thief.
After a while I realized I'd seen him before.
He was your husband.
Are you making this up?
Ask him and see for yourself.
Why was he there?
Mi Rae.
I'll tell you everything without adding anything on,
so hold your temper and listen.
You passed your peak.
You can't afford to be so haughty.
- I'm hanging up. - You can if you want to.
It'll hurt your pride, but it'll be better for you if you listen.
That was the first time I'd felt better...
after getting beaten up.
Your husband said that...
he divorced you because of me,
so I should've been good to you.
How dare I dump you?
He said you aren't the kind of woman who deserves that from me.
We punched each other until we bled...
and I realized I deserved it.
I had it coming.
To be honest,
I felt forgiven.
It's hard to find a man like him these days.
I'm in no position to give you advice,
but one thing's for sure.
You're not the old Nam Mi Rae.
Don't look too far for your bluebird.
Take care.
Don't get beaten up. You look pitiful.
Hey. Stop showing off and look after your own self.
You're home.
You said you had practice.
I got back from that.
Were you crying?
You practiced that hard?
I knew it. You look your best when you perform on stage.
Did you skip class again?
Tell Dad I'm sick.
Dong Hyun.
You can't keep skipping lessons.
You might not get to see me again.
Why not?
There's something called visitation rights.
It the right I have to see you.
If I keep coddling you like this, your dad can sue...
and revoke my visitation rights.
They can't do that if I want to see you.
They can if you keep skipping class.
I can't see you when I want to.
This is like a prison sentence.
We can meet on the weekends.
Okay. Just for today then.
Tell Dad I'm sick just for today.
Hey, Dad shaved.
You look good with a stubble...
or without. You look great.
- Do I really? - Yes.
Oh, right.
Do you feel rejuvenated?
Of course, I do.
Your mom bought a lot of stuff saying I need more energy.
Let's have a look.
What's all this?
Is there a war?
Why did you buy so much?
There's nothing for us here.
Go away, kids. Everything here's for your dad.
He needs to regain some energy...
and hit a home run.
A home run? Dad has to hit a home run? How?
You don't need to know. Now get out of here.
My gosh. What is this?
It's gross. It looks like an insect.
Hey. Don't call this an insect.
This is the famous cordyceps.
Honey, you know, don't you?
The mysterious fungus that grows out of an insect.
I'd heard about it but I've never seen it before.
Neither had I.
Is this that good for you?
The seller said this is the best quality.
What's this then?
- It looks weird. - It's good for you.
- Eat some. - You eat it.
Hey! Go upstairs!
- Okay. - Scram.
Let's go.
Honey, do you want to see what I bought?
This is yagwanmun, this is bokbunja,
these are hemp seeds, and these are garlic.
It's not kimchi season yet.
Why did you buy so much garlic?
I asked around and...
You asked? Whom?
Mr. Kim from the health food store...
and Unit 708 who had a kid late in their life.
I also searched the internet and garlic is...
Why don't you just broadcast it to the whole neighborhood?
Why not use a loudspeaker?
You went on TV and talked about it yourself.
Everyone in Jangsa-gu knows you can't get it up.
How do you think I knew to buy all this?
I got tips from your supporters.
Oh, dear.
Anyway, I'm going to do my best starting today.
You just have to follow my lead.
I'll set everything up for dinner.
Just eat on time.
Now open up and eat some of this first.
What is this now?
Garlic in wild honey.
- You know wild honey. Here. - Well...
Good for you.
Tomorrow is Chuseok.
I hurt my foot during the busiest season.
You have to take care of everything for me.
Tell Ms. Yang that I'm sorry.
It's fine.
We're managing because we found a good part-timer.
Don't you worry and get some rest.
Sorry, Manager Park.
Hey.
Where were you all day?
You should make me lunch at least.
I cooked rice and soup and...
he can't even serve himself.
Where were you?
Why do you want to know?
Any other year you'd be busy...
preparing for Chuseok.
Why are you starting so late?
This year I'll cook just half the usual.
Just half?
That's a breakfast table, not a memorial service table.
Exactly.
We just have to prepare what your parents liked.
No.
That's what other families do these days.
Your mother told me to do so...
before she passed away.
You believe a demented woman?
She was lucid sometimes.
She told me then.
So you bought just this?
Buy some more.
Go and buy more food.
Stop it!
Fine.
I'll let you off for my parents' sake.
What are you doing? Go and buy more food.
Okay.
It's the last memorial service table I'll prepare for,
so I'll do that.
What?
The last memorial service table?
You can't put the lid on.
Don't you have to cover it up and let it boil?
Be careful.
Brisket should be soaked in cold water to drain the blood,
but we have no time for that.
In that case, you can boil it slightly first,
then cook it again in cold water...
and the soup won't smell disgusting.
- That's how you do it? - Yes.
Tell me how much water you need.
That's it.
Okay then.
Power on.
Once it boils, lower it to medium heat...
and leave it for about two hours.
Slice the radish into bite-sized chunks and add them later.
No, no.
The man should do the slicing.
Now sit and rest.
So,
soup, rice, fruit and dried fish...
is all you need?
Yes. That's my best.
That's it? You should make songpyeon,
Korean pancakes and sikhye.
This isn't your best.
I'll prepare a right feast for you next year.
He said he'd be home. Where is he?
Where are you?
At the clinic, where else?
It's passed closing time.
If I close on time,
what about the emergency patients?
And since when were you so interested in me...
that you ask so much?
Sorry for being nosy.
I called to tell you to...
come home early. Dong Hyun's home.
I'll deal with everything so don't you mind.
And stop letting Dong Hyun stay at your place.
If you let him skip class once more,
I'll make sure you lose your visitation rights.
I mean that.
Okay.
Why are you...
suddenly so obedient?
I don't feel too well. I'm hanging up.
- Dong Hyun, I'm off. - Okay.
What? You're at the clinic?
Hey. How dare you slap me?
Don't you dare get in my sight again!
Here. My darling.
Sit up and drink this.
What for?
What's this?
Eel extract. I boiled it all evening.
Drink a bowl of it before you sleep.
I had a pouch of tonic after dinner.
That just helps your body absorb all the nutrients.
This will bring your performance levels up.
They do different things. Drink it quickly.
- My goodness... - Drink that up.
That tastes bad.
Good for you.
Now clean your palate with this.
What is it?
Yagwanmun. It's great for men.
This too?
This is just water, not a medicine.
Drink this instead of plain water.
I boiled a whole potful and put it in the fridge. Drink it.
Oh Dal Sook.
I think you're going way overboard.
Just drink!
Okay.
Well? Do you think you're feeling better?
How would I feel better...
I do feel a bit odd.
You do?
He said you'd react right away but so soon?
I feel it. I feel it.
You do?
- Honey. - Honey.
- Honey! - Honey!
Oh, my goodness.
